Not bad for book number one.......2007-06-04

GREAT!!!...Sort off. in all honiesty it wasn't too bad. It followed the game a little too closely and those who have played resident evil directors cut would know what happens next. But i liked it because it followed seperate accounts of each character, so whilst one character was doing one thing you ended up following the seperate acounts of another character. I deffinately reccomend it for those who are not too familiar withe game as it goes into more detail of the events befor the game. I would also reccomend buying the second novel after this and so on and so on. happy reading resi fans

From the prespective of a fan.........2006-10-16

I would have to say, I really loved reading through this book. From a fan's prespective, there are both good and bad points. Just to make it clear, SD Perry did a FANTASTIC job of describing what happens in the game. On the other hand, since I've played the games and read all the files.. the book didn't elaborate *too much* on the story.. and parts of the beggining which(I will not ruin) were just sort of monotonous(Wesker). I'm assuming the author assumes the majority of the audience would be the fans of the videogame series, but I still believe just a little bit more description of the areas in the mansion would be nice.. "Turned right and took the closest door!" doesn't quite cut it when I'm trying to use my imagination. For the good points, the book moves at a very good pace. There were familiar puzzles from the game but not to the point where they are drawn out and monotonous. The characters were also fleshed out very well for the type of novel this is. For any fan, I would definately reccomend this book. For anyone else, I am not so sure... because of course, this is from the opinion of a fan. I will definately read the rest of the RE books, especially since the next in the series is an original adaptation to the story :]

Best Book Series I've Ever Read.......2006-08-14

When I first bought this book, I read 25 pages or so and then just stopped reading. Why did I do this? I have no idea. It was a very stupid decision on my part. It was about a year later that I was bored and looking for something to do. I saw the book and decided to read it. Now I am not typically someone who reads. In facts these are some of the only books I've read outside of school. So if you're like me and don't care for reading, these books may change your mind. After reading Resident Evil, I was wanting more and I now own every book in the series. The Umbrella Conspiracy still remains to be my favorite. It's just a great horror novel. It goes into detail about how the T-virus affected Raccoon City, and how the S.T.A.R.S. attempt to stop the virus. The other books in the series go further into the mystery and other viruses, and how they affect the world.

This was the fastest book I have ever read. Every single chance I had to read it, I would. It even has a clouple funny parts in it. S.D. Perry did an amazing job on these books. It's a mixture of dark, horror, scary elements with plenty of violence and action to keep your mind occupied. You will have no problem imagining the events in your head. It's not hard reading either, so you should be able to breeze right through it. There really are no boring parts in this book, except maybe a bit of the beginning.

So get your self a copy of this book if you haven't done so. You will be wanting more at the end. Check out the entire series after reading this, but go in order from first to last. The movie which was "supposedly" based off this book was terrible and didn't follow the storyline at all which is of course what Hollywood does to most movies based off of books. Don't see it. If you love horror novels or if you're a fan of the video game, this needs to be part of your collection. But if you are shy to violence and gore, this is not the book for you, cause this baby is filled with all that good stuff. You just can't get enough of this. I'll say it again> Best book series I have ever read. Get it.

Excellent Game --> Book Translation!.......2006-08-10

This was one of the very first books I read based on a video game. To say the least, I was pleasantly surprised! For those who love the plot of the resident evil games and always want to know more (like myself), definitely check out the entire series! S.D. Perry has done a fantastic job with every single one of them!

Not a classic, but still makes the movies look like fan films.......2006-06-20

I read this book in about 2 days, which says a lot. I am not the type of person that likes to read a whole lot, but i picked this up after completing most of the 1st game. I really dont care if it follows it exactly or not, and not many people will. So unless your a die hard fan, don't worry about what other people say about this on that topic. It has a nice flow to it, and is a great start to the series.

Quite plausible Kennedy Assasination Theory.......2006-02-10

The jist of this book is that one of the gunmen in the Kennedy Assasination wasn't actually on the Grassy Knoll, he was "the umbrella man" caught by the Zapruder film opening his umbrella on the roadside at Dealy Plaza as the Presidential convoy was approaching; Mr. Cutler claims the umbrella was actually a CO2 powered rifle device, firing a silent (and relatively recoiless)explosive bullet that caused the President's head to explode. Some very good diagrams show the plausibility of this theory. And remember, How To Kill Vols. 1-4 show actual U.S. Army and CIA weapons that appear less plausible than the one proposed here.

Whatever this theory's weaknesses, it's certainly a more plausible theory than the Warren Comission's "Magic Bullet" theory.

Visit the Assasination Museum next time you're in Dallas!

And remember, you heard about it here first!
